Latest reviews from our guests

    This is one of the best tours to do if you only have a couple of days to spend in Sydney. We're happy to have been matched with a professional, kind & knowledgeable tour guide named Olivia. We were so unlucky with the pouring rain throughout the day but that didn’t stop us from exploring the city and still saw a lot in spite of the weather. Olivia was exceptionally skilled in showing the best sights around Sydney and best of all she showed us how to use the Ferry and light rail. We had been here decades ago but Olivia made it easy for us to reminisce the past & compare the present. | highly recommend to give this tour a try and it will be worth your time.

    Our walking city tour with Ross was outstanding. We found Sydney to be a big city with a rich history that had far more of a frontier feel than you might imagine. The complex history of Australia and Sydney were covered thoroughly and fairly by Ross. Additionally, his knowledge of today’s Sydney and its offerings were useful.

    My experience has been that the guide makes or breaks the tour, so I was fortunate to get a great tour guide. Ross was retired and had lived in the area his whole life, so he was very knowledgeable. If I return I will definitely do the same tour again.
